Chapter Twenty-Nine: Wealth is not ungrateful

"Eldest sister, you come and help me deal with those two fish, and let's have a whole fish feast in the evening." Seeing that it was already getting dark, Li Cheng was going to make dinner to eat.

Because the Tang Dynasty had not yet popularized stir-frying, Li's mother naturally wouldn't be able to, so Li Cheng planned to cook by himself.

The eldest sister Wanniang was surprised, she didn't expect her stupid brother to cook the dishes: "Are they the two in the jar?" ”

Li Chengdao: "Yes, I went fishing with my little sister yesterday, eldest sister, I killed the fish, and then you can help me scrape off the scales." ”

"Well, I'll go."

Then Li Cheng asked the little girl to fetch some water, took out a knife from the system, and killed the grass carp and crucian carp.

Li Cheng is responsible for killing fish, Wanniang and the little girl are responsible for scraping off the scales and processing the internal organs, and the three brothers and sisters are in full swing in the backyard.

Aunt Zhang saw that she couldn't help much, so she said goodbye and left earlier, and Li's mother lit a fire in the kitchen, and Li Chenglai naturally handled the matter of cooking and frying fish.

At this time, the sun has set half in the west, and under the rendering of the golden red light, whether it is the river beach or the mountain village and field, it seems to be plated with a layer of golden light.

Smoke rose from the front of Li Cheng's thatched hut, dispersed in the air with the evening breeze, and drifted into the villages and houses.

Although there is more than a mile between the head of the village and the end of the village, the air already smells the thick smell of meat blowing in the wind, which makes people's stomachs can't help but start to stir, and saliva keeps bubbling out.

"What does it smell like? It smells so good! ”

"It's so fragrant~!"

"What is this, how does Lao Tzu feel that he has never eaten it?"

"It's from the direction of Lao Li's family, it can't be what his family is eating, right?!"

"But where does it come from? Even the things in the city don't have this fragrance! ”

"Tomorrow, if we go over, will we have this to eat?"

"Ah, I can't stand it!"

"I don't want to eat anymore when I smell this~"

"Who is it? What a cruel person. ”

“………”

There was a wail in Xiaohe Village, and everyone was miserable.

Now is the time to eat, and every household in the village has already served the table, but the smell of fish from Li Cheng's house is mixed with a few hints of modern seasonings, the fresh fragrance of the fish, and the spicy pepper... None of them made them droop, and they suddenly felt that what they were eating now was tasteless.

"Whew! It's so fragrant, Erya wants to eat it! Er Ya wants to eat! Brother~Brother! ”

Li Cheng's home. A childish shout came from the front yard with the wind, Er Ya threw away the sour wild fruit in her hand and shouted loudly, and Li Mu and Wan Niang both swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

Li Cheng couldn't help but swallow and spit, this pure natural fish and this modern seasoning are really a perfect match!

The meat of fresh fish, the hemp of cumin, the spicy pepper, the strong beer, the tenderness of vanilla... Quietly mixed together, antique, appetizing.

Everyone couldn't wait to come to the courtyard table, hungry for almost a whole day, and at this time, no one could hold on to the smell of fragrant fatty meat.

Li Cheng was also hungry, so he couldn't wait to take the bowl of white rice handed over by Erya and devoured it.

"Brother eats meat!" Erya scooped out a few pieces of boiled fresh fish from the jar with a wooden spoon.

Li Cheng glanced at Bai Shengsheng's greasy and tender fish, and couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world, and then took it and poured it into a bowl and ate it in a big gulp.

Li Chengyi ate three bowls in a row, almost all the cooked white rice was eaten by him, and the broth was also eaten nearly half, and then he felt that he was full, rubbed his stomach and began to burp.

Mother Li looked at the three children in front of her who were swallowing dates, and the corners of her eyes were moist.

Mother Li said again: "Da Lang, eat slowly, I see that there are a lot of fish and meat, and our family can't finish eating, you can take some to your Aunt Zhang's family to taste later." ”

Li Cheng agreed, he was full, got up and walked to the back kitchen, lifted the crockpot containing the fish and meat, and went out.

Li Cheng walked a few dozen meters along a path and saw another thatched house, the layout and style were similar to his own, a small courtyard, two thatched houses, there were no big trees in the yard, but there was a simple stone table, that is, a stone slab placed on several stones.

Aunt Zhang's family has six people, her husband Zhang Qing, three sons and a little daughter, the eldest son is called Zhang Ergou, the one who was ridiculed today, there is a beautiful girl like a flower, who is now eighteen or nineteen years old.

The second son Zhang Wolf, fourteen years old, the youngest son is the youngest, just turned eight years old this year, and the youngest daughter is named Tong Niang, who is eleven years old this year, and the second girl is the same age.

Li Cheng didn't know where Aunt Zhang was originally from, but it is said that her ancestors were also implicated by debasement, and it has been twenty or thirty years since then.

At this time, Aunt Zhang was cooking with a teenage girl in the yard, and there was a strong fragrance wafting in the yard, and Li Cheng knew that it was a frog when he smelled it.

"Aunt Zhang~" Li Cheng shouted while standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Aunt Zhang noticed Li Cheng standing at the door, stood up in surprise and beckoned: "Da Lang, you came at the right time, come in and taste it, Zhang Hu caught a lot of fat frogs today, and I will bring some back to your mother and little sister later!" ”

Li Cheng's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Aunt Zhang really didn't have anything to say about her family.
